GET READY FOR NAVROZE!

Saturday, March 18, 2017

Whether you’re observing it as New Year, spring festival or simply a day to celebrate with your Parsi and Irani friends across the city, you’re going to want to dig into these special meals! Rhea Dhanbhoora & Pearl Mathias bring you the best places to order an authentic feast from for the
coming week

Spring brings in a bevvy of good tidings, and one of our favourite reasons to celebrate the season is just around the corner — it’s almost Jamshedi Navroze! If you haven’t ordered an authentic Parsi meal to celebrate with yet, this is your last chance to do so. With most orders coming to a close this weekend (although you may be lucky enough to get something off regular menus on the day itself, we wouldn't leave that to chance), you should get started if you want to dig into some Pulao Daar, scoop up some Lagan nu Custard or dive into a plate of Patra ni Macchi. We love the food these caterers whip up; get in touch so you can take your pick off the special menus too!

Why we love it: Hands down one of the best caterers in the city, you can’t get more authentic than this! We love everything Tanaaz whips up, but the Sahs ni Macchi in particular is a must-have in our books.

Why we love it: The set menu has a heady mix of chicken, prawn and mutton dishes — perfect for those who can’t pick what they love best.

FLAVOURFUL FEAST @ BHONU
What’s on the menu: With non-vegetarian combinations for two people, one of the options on Bhonus special menu caught our attention in particular. With Chicken Berry Pulav, Khatto-Mittho Kheemo Sali, Sahs ni Machi, Tambota per Eeda, Gajar Mewa no Achar and Mitho Ravo or Caramel Custard. All the four combinations are priced at `1,900.

Why we love it: When we first tried the food from Rashna Maneckshaw’s kitchen, it was the delicious Dhansak that caught our eye, but there’s nothing quite like the Mitho Ravo and Caramel Custard. Good luck picking just one!

FESTIVE FUN @ KATY’S KITCHEN
What’s on the menu: With delicious vegetarian options such as Ravaiyya (Rs 225) and Tarkari nu Baffad (Rs 225) as well as the scrumptious Mutton Baffad (Rs 300) and Mutton Pullao Dal (Rs 300), Katy’s Kitchen is all set to make your Navroze a delicious one! Don’t forget to dig into the Lagan nu Custard at the end of your meal.

Why we love it: No one who knows Parsi cuisine will forget Katy Dalal. Her warm personality was just as much of a treat as her delectable meals. Continuing the tradition of her great Navroze feasts, dig into this menu, and don’t miss out on the Bheja na Cutlets, which are to die for. It’s also one of the few places offering Lagan nu Istu!

Why we love it: They have a special menu on offer every year and are one of the top caterers to weddings and Navjotes across the city. We’re particularly fond of their Lagan nu Achar and Mutton Pulao Dal.

Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 20)Problem in communication could have you rescheduling your day. You will encounter some problems at work as a result. Wait until the afternoon for matters to resolve themselves before you get rattled and voice your discomfort. Plan your further work schedules. In personal relationships avoid confrontations in your own interest. Minor upsets in love are to be tackled diplomatically and gently
